5 Essential Herbs to Add to Your Food/Medicine Pantry

In looking for ways to make you feel better, especially if you are trying to get over a nasty cold or flu, there is a simple solution. The following 5 essential herbs are terrific to making you feel better and improving your health. They are worth a second mention because everyone wants to feel good and productive, right?

(1) Lemon Balm -This herb has can be used for various remedies from colds/flu to help teething babies with pain.

(2) Ginger - Ginger has been known to work wonders as well for various remedies such as digestion issues, an immunity builder, and great for coughs, colds and even menstrual cramps.

(3) Turmeric - There is no doubt that this herb is simply magnificent. Turmeric helps in anything from skin problems to heart issues to improving liver function. The liver is absolutely critical for sustaining life by actually processing important food nutrients and removing toxins from the body.

Ginger:
You’ve likely sipped ginger ale or ginger tea when you’ve had an upset
stomach. Ginger’s fantastic for nausea – and so much more. Because it
gives your immune system a boost, it never hurts to add ginger to your
cooking if you like its flavor. It’s also antimicrobial and
pain-relieving, properties you can take advantage of both internally or
externally – for example, by applying cooled ginger tea to burns. Its
expectorant and diaphoretic properties make it a great choice for colds,
coughs, and fevers. De La Foret also recommends ginger for menstrual
cramps.Read more at http://higherperspective.com/2013/12/better-big-pharma-5-herbs-cant-without.html#sq5er3UuXpD5jrMH.99

As
noted before, lemon balm is a highly versatile herb that is useful for a
number of different conditions. The fact that it’s safe for all ages
and tastes good makes it a great choice for kids. In fact, herbalist
Rosalee de la Foret recommends it as an ideal choice to help teething
babies deal with pain. She also uses it for cold and flu, particularly
when you’ve also got a fever, digestive complaints, cold sores, and
stress. (The only note of caution here: don’t use lemon balm too much if
you suffer from hypothyroidism.)Read more at http://higherperspective.com/2013/12/better-big-pharma-5-herbs-cant-without.html#sq5er3UuXpD5jrMH.99
